下面是一道和SAT官方每日一题相似的题目，供大家练习：

Upon winning her third gold medal at the competition, the young athlete learned that her accomplishments had surpassed her coach’s, a former track star.【在线咨询】

(A) her coach's

(B) her coach

(C) those of her coach

(D) those done by her coach

(E) those of her coach's

The correct answer is C

Explanation

Choice (C) is correct. This version of the sentence correctly compares the young athlete’s accomplishments with her coach’s accomplishments, not with her coach. In addition, it uses the plural pronoun “those” to refer to the coach’s accomplishments, which allows the noun “coach” to be correctly modified by the noun phrase “a former track star.” The possessive noun “coach’s” cannot be modified by a noun phrase.【在线咨询】
